“Every morning something new is posted, whether it be one of our cases or any related cases,” said Detective Jose Sierra of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office.

The blog was particularly helpful in the case of Alicia Acosta, who was shot and killed in an Albuquerque smoke shop in 2009. Her killers have been at large ever since.

Anyone in the sheriff’s office can access the blog. As tips come in, investigators can sort through mug shots, sketches or anything that can help them spot a potential culprit.

It’s a cross-platform website. Arrests made by the Albuquerque Police Department also show up on the page and can be accessed by deputies.

It’s a streamlined process that's working in conjunction with another tactic -- cold case cards. The decks of playing cards with the names and descriptions of victims are being handed out to inmates in area prisons.

Though the cards and the blog weren’t around when Acosta died, they’re helping to keep her case alive.
